I fought with my dad today.

Soon I'm going to be moving away and I really want him to understand that it is not because I do not like it at home. He says, "but you come home almost every night past eleven." I responded, "it's because I'm active."
To be honest, I did wonder why I had been so restless. I can see why he said that. I mean, I know I don't wanna miss out on life. My friend says I "grab life by its horns," which for some reason conjures the image of a rhinoceros and me grabbing its horns and going for a spin, lol. But why is it that I am always out doing something, anything, anything but sitting still at home and just resting, relaxing.

I live life fast-paced, but recently I feel like the Lord has been telling me to just be still.

I think when you're doing things so quickly, you miss out on little details. If you're rushing you might misplace something or find yourself being a little clumsy or careless. Okay, so I'm talking about myself.

There seems to be change in the air. I'm starting to enjoy the sound of silence, the peace of being still, and the assurance that all is good.

 

Remember when you played tag as a little kid and if you got tired you'd say "Time Out" and it was like a self-imposed break from the game? Don't you wish you could do that with life?

Like, mmm...I'm feeling lke I need a little break, so instead of going to my appointments tonight, I'm just going to be using my TIME OUT card and spending some time by myself with a DVD or a good book?

If God were a video game designer, this would be like one of those bonus items you could get. Teehee.  ^___^
